No, it doesn't say it's ANYTHING. But when it's "guaranteed to be
authentic", and the only specific substance mentioned anywhere is "meteorite".....and
that's in the title.....what is the novice buyer supposed to infer?

Why would any seller mention IMCA membership if he's not wishing to suggest
authenticity of a meteorite? Would he mention the IMCA if he were selling a
tennis racket?

I confess I find it difficult to give this seller the benefit of the doubt,
as to motives for the eyebrow-raising text.
